Tubuai
Tubuai is the largest island in the archipelago and serves as the main hub for public and economic services for the entire group. The island's reef is scattered with fine motus, coral, and volcanic rocks, while its huge lagoon, which is nearly twice the size of the island itself, offers 33 sq. mi. (85 km²) of pure aquatic fun. The mild climate also makes Tubuai and the surrounding islands ideal for farming, with fields of lilies grown for export that can be seen stretching as far as the eye can see.
The island's stunning beauty has been noted by explorers for centuries. In the late 19th century, explorers Wallis and Cook were struck by the lush vegetation and crystal-clear water surrounding Tubuai. Despite the large barrier reef around the coast that made it seem unsuitable for good anchorage, this disadvantage turned into an incredible advantage in the eyes of the famous mutineers of the HMS Bounty. Led by Christian Fletcher, they built Fort George on Tubuai, which still exists today and is a must-visit attraction for visitors to the island.
Tubuai's natural beauty, abundant aquatic activities, and rich cultural history make it a must-see destination for travelers to the area. Whether you're looking to explore the island's stunning landscapes, learn about local history and culture, or simply relax and enjoy the island's mild climate, Tubuai has something for everyone.

What our customers say
We had such a fantastic holiday organised by Sara in the Canada/Alaska team, she was very patient with my questions and nothing was to much trouble. The holiday ran so smoothly and we didn’t have to worry about anything. We had a glitch with one of the activities as there was a cancellation, a quick email to Sara and everything was taken care of. I have no hesitation in recommending Entire Travel Group, we will use them again 😀
Lisa organised our first-time cruise to perfection. Hassle-free and seamless. She answered queries, big and small, quickly and thoughtfully. I felt that no question was too silly to ask, as Lisa was always professional and friendly. We went on Twice the Tahiti with Windstar, which was wonderful: Service : Excellent Scenery : sublime Boat size : just right (300 passengers) Amenities : fantastic Cabin : large and comfortable - we even had a walk-in closet!! Lisa took care of everything. All we had to do was get to our local airport. All transfers and accommodation vouchers were there and easily utilised. If you want to explore French Polynesia, then we highly recommend Windstar Seabreeze.
Le Bora Bora Pearl resort is exceptional . I needed to do something special and this is the place to do it.Lisa from Entire travel group is so friendly and professional. I will always make my travel plans with her. She made it feel effortless and stress free and is a pleasure to deal with.
Our 'Dreams of Tahiti' Cruise aboard the Windstar Star Breeze has been the best cruise we ever experienced. The destinations, the ship, the staff and the dining couldn't be faulted by us at any time. Prior to our departure, from home, the ETG Liaison agent Lisa was outstanding in her commitment to every detail and ensuring we understood everything of what we were to about to experience. Lisa was very patient with all our requests and her itinerary presentation was first rate. What a great holiday experience !!!
